The Perfect Present for Babies (and Parents) that Love Music!
Take That, Oasis, Abba, Michael Jackson, Coldplay, The Beatles, U2, The Rolling Stones, amongst others...
Babies Go CDs are a range of instrumental lullaby CDs that are not only a delight for babies, but are incredibly well constructed to be pleasing to the ears of parents too. Especially good for long car journeys as many happy parents and babies have discovered.
Each album contains around 13 or 14 tracks of the best selling tracks from the corresponding artist.
Every track is lovingly re-created with tonal instruments that babies love; violins, harps, flutes etc. Yet also with melodies and instrumentation you'll love too..
We're very pleased to say that even Howard from Take That has recently picked up a copy of "Babies Go Take That" from "Their Nibs" a shop that stocks our CDs in Notting Hill.
This is what some of our customers have said recently;
"We were given th e Take That version as a gift as my wife is pregnant. My wife loves it, so we got the Coldplay CD for another friend of my wife's who is also expecting" Jamie, Edinburgh......
"I received my order extremely promptly....... The CD was a present for my best friend who is pregnant & a huge Take That fan so she loved it! Great service, thanks very much, I have recommended your website to friends too". Amy
